Glad that this intricate work is being watched over by such a poufy floofy supervisor who works for cat food, cat videos and cuddles with the human.

I have not watched Court TV, but based on what I heard here, they need new producers to set up and research these "expert" interviews. No one should say "I hate her" in an interview regarding a criminal case defendant. This attitude is the antithesis of the neutrality that should be expected from an expert commentator. Having an attorney utter that phrase on a public video, is to me (unfortunately not to The Bar), a sanctionable offense. At the very least, it makes me distrust Court TV. BTW Whenever Mark spoke about those who wish to opine about the Read case on twitter with their only background being a "twitter law degree" made me laugh out loud every single time. Perfect example of why I am not on twitter.

Was this conviction expected, yes. Was the lawyer less than stellar, yes. Was everyone saved from the ordeal of Sarah Boone as defendant AND attorney, YES!
UNCIVIL Q: (1a) Probably, she knew about air (1b) Maybe, she was out that year in school, (2a) Suitcase as self defense, sure a good swing with those wheels and a filled bag should leave a mark, (2b) Possibly, but might be hard to explain to store security if asked, "why the bag", and finally (3a) Attorney Owens used "the spaghetti defense" unfortunately for him nothing stuck, (3b) Winning an Oscar, well first you have to do something intelligent and entertaining, although sometimes it helps if you sucker punch the host.

Her behavior is childlike, not in an innocence sense, but with a young child's lack of logical thinking. I agree with Chase Hughes @0:58:00--1:00:00. This is a 47 year old woman who is barely functioning at a preadolescence level. The Pam Beesly observation for a defendant's appearance at @1:40 (again by Chase π€£) was genius. Early meetings with Attorney James Owens, de-evolved into shouting matches. Sarah Boone like any "tween" believed that she knew better than everyone else. Unfortunately for Sarah Boone she was not a child in a parental home but an adult who is in a criminal court. Magical thinking is only believed by very young children, narcissists and some politicians.

Replay crew here. Unless Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan has a TARDIS to revisit January 28-29 2022 in order to institute a proper investigation then there is no valid case to try. There is only corruption within, and misspent tax money by, The Commonwealth. With the appointment of a special prosecutor we are probably witnessing "smoke and mirrors" aka the art of misdirection by those who think that they are magicians. Under the watch of the DA of Norfolk County, the law has suffered as have those individuals who fall into the Commonwealth's legal system. Michael Morrissey is up for re-election in 2026. I feel the answer to WHY all of this mess is in that factor. On a lighter note, I always enjoy joint commentary by Melanie and Mark. I agree that Court TV needs to upgrade their management staff if they wish to survive as a reliable source of information.

Andrea Burkhart's knowledge of the law, rational thinking and (seemingly as no video allowed) excellent note-taking makes her one of the best analysts on You Tube. All those barbarians, pushing their way up the stairs to reach prime locations in the trial area should be pitied. They are essentially dinosaurs trying to survive in a new environment in which they are inherently incapable of understanding and cannot make the adaptions necessary to survive. This case is beyond troubling as an individual with a psychological past such as Richard Allen makes him an excellent candidate for brain washing. Local LE whether Delphi or Canton seem to prefer the opposite of a proper investigation. As Andrea has said, LE is seemingly making a person of interest fit their narrative of rather than using the evidentiary pieces to lead to possible or probable suspect(s).

Cults are responsible for so much damage to individuality. Leaving a cult, does not erase past damage. You have to re-wire your thinking in order to return to the world. This re-wiring (aka therapy) may be too painful for certain individuals to embrace as it entails the confirmation that not only was the cult wrong, but so was the period of time spent in that cult. Follow your own path. Perhaps in that journey, there will be familiar faces, if not there will certainly be new ones who will enhance the journey. Thank you for Jenna Miscavige for sharing.

Having just lived through the 2024 U.S. presidential election, I am feeling somewhat unsettled so perhaps my viewpoint is off. It seems like we chased the bullies out of local schools and neighborhoods only to have them feed in the unsupervised wilderness of social media. In a way I feel sorry for all the haters, trolls and bullies, besides lacking civility, kindness, patience and an open mind, they appear to lack a sense of the absurd and humor.

The nearest that I have to possessing medical expertise is my recent proximity to the physician I saw for an annual checkup. Dr. Rice seemed unconcerned with broken limbs, however couldn't a bone break throw clots? IMO this doctor is struggling with more than his ego, he does NOT want to be at this trial, he IS irritated and probably he is fatigued. The Read trial mimics a debilitating virus damaging the lives of everyone it infects. The defense team, defense witnesses and Karen Read have a good prognosis, the rest not so much.

What is the Venn diagram (sorry, but snark alert) of people who voted for a certain individual and also believe in this cloning conspiracy? They have obviously discounted the numerous options open to the rich and famous, including but not limited to procedures and items such as: plastic surgery, fillers, botox, laser resurfacing, personal trainers, film filters, shape-wear and the most unfair advantage of them all, a lucky turn of the genetic roulette wheel. I agree with ant, but also going with Occam's razor. I think that the internet makes the mystery, secrecy and isolation of previous generations of celebrities highly difficult these days hence their influence and power are not at the level of early twentieth century celebs. Apologies for early snarky comment, I am still in "recovery".

I knew that the GG was problematic, really almost a joke with all the freebies given in return for a good mention. I did not realize the extent of the corruption and the cruelty. Regarding that "visit", it does not matter how strangers at your door identify themselves. Do not admit them until you have seen their paperwork (subpoena, search warrant). Keep the paperwork. Get all names and all badge numbers/IDs. The second thing you must do before admitting these people is CALL an attorney. Be polite, be non-confrontational, but be firm, make eye contact. Video everything. It is ironic, but what is said about a criminal abduction, "never ever let them take you to a second location", well even if it is LE and the 2nd location is a police station do not go unless accompanied by your attorney.

So now somewhere in the UK is a convicted pr3dator wearing a wig who can reoffend whenever they choose. Members of a group are usually judged by their weakest link. This is not fair, but usually happens. I would consider a newly trans individual who is also a convicted p3dofile, to be an extremely weak link and very detrimental to the cause of trans rights.

There seems to be an epidemic of people embarrassing themselves on social media, then deleting the comments and finally the "I am sorry if you are offended" non-apology apology video. I agree with Kinsey Schofield, negative attention is still attention. Any attention on social media increases follower numbers, possibly income of the account holder and definitely fame and/or infamy both of which appear to be interchangeable in the minds of certain influencers. I learned as a parent of young children not to reward or acknowledge negative behavior, so my children matured. Now what do we do with this influx of adult toddlers with 24/7 access to the internet?

Posting videos online to friends and followers is not a rare act or requires a special set of skills (thank you Liam N).

I know in the "real" world especially finance, you have to acknowledge that you are being paid for being a spokesperson. For any influencer, just be clear.

The several fluffs that Attorney Brennan made regarding what side he is on, along with not getting "his homework" done on time, bites vs. bits and that bite expert (dog not computer) mention are not encouraging as to Attorney Brennan's expertise. The "new" information submission by Attorney Brennan given to the defense is somewhat puzzling regarding the Mansfield and the Waltham PDs mentions. Karen Read is 44 now, in 2000 she was around TWENTY years old. I know twitter likes to punish people for past issues involving comments, views or activities, but being admissible in a court case after TWENTY years is quite another matter.

I recognize that the result of the 2024 U.S. election is more of a reflection of all of us who voted rather than any conspiracy. Twitter is a dumpster fire, but in fairness it was a dumpster fire before the Elon Musk purchase. As does ant, I see Elon Musk as someone who believes that he is Grand Master (aka chess master) making all the right moves faster and more accurately than anyone else. To continue the chess metaphor, I believe that he sees most of us as pawns, whatever our roles and titles might be. Minor rant, if Mr. Musk wishes women to have more children here are some suggestions in no particular order: (1) improve quality of health care (2) lower costs of health care (3) make health care universal not tied to a particular job (4) give women absolute control of their own bodies (5) make child care free, safe and easily found (6) allow long maternity leaves without career damage (7) allow paternity leaves without career damage (8) allow flex time (I hear Elon HATES people working from home) at a job (9) fund all fertility treatments. It is not SpaceX technology Elon, the answers are quite simple regarding family and children. (Not in comment: schools and teachers)

Just a hypothesis, while Mike Rinder escaped this cult, I feel that he never actually escaped the changes this cult made to his life view and personality. While in the cult, he allowed very bad things to happen. It is natural to want to block that out once you leave a cult. Who wants to face their own demons? Now he is so ill that he had to resign from the Foundation he cared so much about. His anger at the injustice of it all has resulted in the recent videos.

I would never have expected this GG war on several journalists to have been initiated by a solitary journalist (no less a citizen of Denmark). Powerful friends in powerful places is an old trope in conspiracies, but seeing the few changes made internally by GG, this trope still rings true. Greg Goeckner (COO of HFPA and attorney) basically blaming Lorenzo Soria's death (former president of HFPA) on an innocent, is evil, appalling, loathsome and just about any other word found in my dictionary app under "abhorrent". In addition such a comment coming from an individual trained as an attorney, makes one wonder about that individual's ethics and intellect . POSSIBLE QUESTIONS: (sorry if dup) How are you and your partner being treated now...not only by GG, but all those other (SO MANY) award groups? Was that instigating Danish journalist only an anomaly or part of many foreign journalists (no individual names pls, just countries) who were never taught to share or that there is safety in numbers? Advice only: NEVER engage with randos on twitter as whether they be trolls or 'bots there is no reason, no logic and very few facts to be had in their reality.

As others have mentioned in the comments section, the only recent negative in regards to Cynthia Erivo was her over-reacting on social media (twitter?) to a fan's reimagining of the famous Wicked poster. I have seen the musical, Wicked. The characters/voices of Glenda and Elphaba have to be equally as good (or in the case of a film to at least allow an editor to frame an image and/or auto-tune to make that happen). I agree with ant, there is possibly maybe some tenseness which could escalate when the various nominations are announced. Hopefully both women will come to the realization that their fate is not in the noms or those chintzy statues, but in the bottom line (aka profit) of the film. Profit is what pushes any actor up to the front of the line in auditions or a director's "wish list".

I enjoyed the discussion of this panel. I cannot imagine what these jurors will eventually think if any of them do research on this case. Whether Richard Allen committed this crime or not, his imprisonment was barbaric, he was presumed guilty at the start of the trial and his defense was not allowed to prove reasonable doubt due to Judge Gull's rulings. So much for amendments (to the U.S. Constitution, first 10 amendments are called Bill of Rights) 4, 5, 6 and maybe 8. With several recent questionable jury decisions, I wonder if the concepts of: (1) innocent until proven guilty and (2) reasonable doubt are properly understood and applied by the average juror.

Still I find it amusing that I disagreed with Christy on Red One and disagreed with Alonso on this movie (which I also have not yet seen, but wish to). Sure Hot Frosty (the cringe obviously begins with the title) sounds a bit awkward, objectifying and weird, but at this point in time I want movies that I can laugh with or even laugh at...besides I already subscribe to Netflix π.

On a very random note, I adore the self-deprecating ceramics that decorate the front of the LVCopsTV set. This is why I stay here, for the experiences of these individuals who have complete self-awareness, ethics, humor and an excellent sense of what should be, as opposed to was, in conflicts, arrests and trials. Thank you for all you do now and have done in the past.
Posted to Lawyer You Know (RE: Interview with Mark Bederow re:Aidan Kearney) 11/17/2024
In listening to these two highly educated people talk, I wonder if there isn't a reason that the jury was deadlocked. The defense was trying to prove corruption of authority figures and the prosecution was trying to submit an implausible investigation and mostly unreliable witnesses to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Karen Read was guilty. I think that it was a bridge too far for a majority of the jury to blame LE for misconduct. IMO, jurors do not understand two concepts basic to any trial (1) innocent until PROVEN guilty and (2) Reasonable Doubt. I love what Peter Tragos said, while not a new idea it bears multiple repetitions; if the law is to work it must be applied to protect the worst of us in order to also protect the best and the rest of us. At the conclusion of this interview, when Peter Tragos asked if Mark Bederow had a YT channel, the expression of MB's face was HILARIOUS. MB's mind was probably going when, how, why (not necessarily in that order).π

So many questions about a FIFTEEN year old child being traumatized by the "ADULT" Judge Kenneth King. Where was the teacher/instructor/trainer in charge of these students? Why was there not a signed consent for the minor to leave school grounds? Why wasn't the parent immediately notified when this farce began? How could actual court employees have allowed this? Why hasn't this judge been immediately removed from the bench and disbarred from ever practicing law for the rest of his life? Isn't Judge King's action basically criminal assault and illegal imprisonment? Has (this hopefully soon to be simply a "Mr.") Kenneth King been criminally charged? How have no authorities commented or reacted? EDB: PLEASE FOLLOW UP ON THIS CASE. Thank you.

Talking about resurrecting famous un-alive fighters, P.T. Barnum (died in late 1800's), however I believe that he is alive and well, wearing a Jake Paul mask while currently trying to sell absolutely anything to absolutely anyone.

I come here for education (I do not have IBD), humor, doggie data, life style details, and SO appearances. However, it is supremely enjoying seeing Maggie so happy. Lately I have been soaking up happiness wherever I can find, due to "issues". I know medical portals, medical warehouses and even the occasional medical person can disappoint but the majority of (at least the humans) do want to help. Having a sense of humor, questions and relevant data on one's phone is about all we can do in the U.S. The Netherlands (they have a good health care rep) is too long a commute for me.π Enjoyed the hauls. I know hauls are ALL over You Tube, but please show what you can and what you feel comfortable with sharing.
Posted to Growing Up In Scientology (RE: Cult Attorneys try to intimidate jurors) 11/29/2024
So employees (past ones, if you believe these attorneys) of this tax-exempt cult are being linked to exposure of jurors' identities, home and work addresses? These "former" employees do not know the meaning of ethics, integrity or sadly even the law. Legal sanctions often end up being a rap on the hand which does not detour future bad acts. Money is important in our society, but just a rhetorical question to these never-in (maybe?) attorneys, PI's or anyone else, is this cult the entity you wish to pledge your loyalty to and income on? Realistically, the answer is obvious.
Posted to HauteLeMode (RE: Red Carpet at Governor's Awards) Uploaded to You Tube 11/20/2024
IMO the disconnect when looking at Lily-Rose Depp's hair couture is due to the very close position of her open neckline and shoulders to her head. It is an optics thing. Depp's hair style would have looked dramatic in a high neck, very adorned upper portion, gown. That Chanel vintage gown which might have needed more edgy footwear, also needed a focal point from above the neckline area. Perhaps a jeweled hair/forehead ornament or maybe a black or rose gold hair style version of the hair look worn by the character, Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) in the 1997 film, The Fifth Element? Either way, at least from what Luke showed, everyone did kind of step up, or at least try to, in regards to this particular Red Carpet.
Posted to Morgan Gold (RE: Red Death Redemption2 and mid-life crisis) Uploaded 11/20/204
I have no desire to return to the past, even the past of last week. My personal angst and existential crises are more regarding far future times, than the myths of the past. Excluding certain overpriced, crowded, highly publicized, definitely commercialized, theme parks which might offer a decent, albeit very short very expensive time "in space", I will never get to experience interstellar exploration. As for my legacy, perhaps RDR2's character of the Sister had the best advice, assume love exists then try to make a loving choice whenever possible. Who knew RDR2 had valid life lessons, well not me. Thank you Morgan Gold.
